The top envoys of South Korea and the United States will hold their first face-to-face meeting.

South Korean Minister of Foreign Affairs Cho Tae-yul and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio are scheduled to hold a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference on Saturday.

The meeting in Germany takes place nearly a month after U.S. President Donald Trump took office and is expected to be an opportunity for Seoul to hear about the new U.S. administration’s economic and security plans, as well as to express its own positions.

It is particularly significant as acting President Choi Sang-mok has yet to hold phone talks with President Trump, amid the current political turmoil and President Yoon Suk Yeol’s ongoing impeachment trial.

Topics on the agenda are expected to include the Seoul-Washington alliance, North Korea’s nuclear program and economic cooperation.

Cho and Rubio will also be joined by their Japanese counterpart, Takeshi Iwaya, for a trilateral meeting Saturday.
